Take up your complaints with Pajiba, the site calling those films American (though I’m totally with you).

They were released in the USA yes, made lots of money there, but they are both BRITISH franchises. Made there, cast there, produced there, filmed there.

You lot can have Twilight, but don’t be trying to brag on some other country’s work, okay?

It seems you can either have good access to insiders or you can have integrity. You can’t have both. Look at The Daily Show vs. any talking heads Sunday morning “news” show. Stewart doesn’t hesitate to report a politician lying using video evidence. But his job doesn’t depend on that politician coming back to do interviews. Serious sounding Sunday morning news shows have those same politicians on and can’t even be bothered to point out that politician lied on those very same shows during their last visit. They depend on cozy relationships with the liars.

Then the “real” news people wonder why trust in them as an institution is decreasing while more people turn to comedy shows for their news.

So I suppose you have to choose between red carpet VIP access to liars or tell the truth from the glamor of your home office. I believe your Unreality and Forbes readers value your input because you’re in touch with whats really going on. They can get marketing spin from anywhere.
